JDBC Driver Performance
With traditional approaches to remote access, performance bottlenecks can spell disaster for applications. Regardless if an application is created for internal use, a commercial project, web, or mobile application, slow performance can rapidly lead to project failure. Accessing data from any remote source has the potential to create these problems. Common issues include:
- Network Connections - Slow network connections and latency issues are common in mobile applications.
- Service Delays - Delays due to service interruptions, resulting in server hardware or software updates.
- Large Data - Intentional or unintentional requests for large amounts of data.
- Disconnects - Complete loss of network connectivity.
The CData JDBC Driver for Highrise solves these issues by supporting powerful smart caching technology that can greatly improve the performance and dramatically reduce application bottlenecks.
Smart Caching
Smart caching is a configurable option that works by storing queried data into a local database. Enabling smart caching creates a persistent local cache database that contains a replica of data retrieved from the remote source. The cache database is small, lightweight, blazing-fast, and it can be shared by multiple connections as persistent storage.
Caching with our JDBC Drivers is highly configurable, including options for:
- Auto Cache - Maintain an automatic local cache of data on all requests. The provider will automatically load data into the cache database each time you execute a SELECT query. Each row returned by the query will be inserted or updated as necessary into the corresponding table in the cache database.
- Explicit Cache - Cache only on demand. Developers decide exactly what data gets stored in the cache and when it is updated. Explicit caching provides full control over the cache contents by using explicit execution of CACHE statements.
- No Cache - All requests access only live data and no local cache file is created.
This powerful caching functionality increases application performance and allows applications to disconnect and continue limited functioning without writing code for additional local storage and/or data serialization/deserialization.
More information about JDBC Driver caching and best caching practices is available in the included help files.

Enterprise-class JDBC Connectivity
The Highrise JDBC Driver offers the most natural way to access Highrise data from any Java/J2EE application. Simply use the Highrise Driver to connect and access data just as you would access any traditional database. The driver is completely self-contained - no additional software installation is required!
Highrise Integration
The Highrise Driver has the same JDBC architecture as the JDBC drivers for MySQL and OLEDB, including Connection, Statement and ResultSet objects. Because of this you can now access Highrise data in an easy, familiar way. You can use the Highrise Driver through popular IDEs (Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans, etc.), in code through familiar classes, and in data controls available through Swing, Eclipse SWT Widgets, etc.
For example:
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:highrise:user=myuseraccount;password=mypassword;"); boolean ret = stat.execute("SELECT * FROM Accounts"); ResultSet rs=stat.getResultSet(); while(rs.next()){ for(int i=1;i<=rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();i++) { System.out.println(rs.getMetaData().getColumnName(i) +"="+rs.getString(i)); } }
More Than Read-Only: Full Update/CRUD Support
Highrise Driver goes beyond read-only functionality to deliver full support for Create, Read Update, and Delete operations (CRUD). Your end-users can interact with the data presented by the Highrise Driver as easily as interacting with a database table.
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:highrise:user=myuseraccount;password=mypassword;"); String query = "UPDATE Accounts SET Where= ..."; PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(query); pstmt.setString(1, "Location"); pstmt.setString(2, "UID"); pstmt.execute(); int count=pstmt.getUpdateCount();
